Shammond Williams at Tulane...
- Thread starter gary-7
- Start date
Shammond was a super shooter with a killer instinct and was a great defender. If I recall correctly he caused particular major problems for the Dookies (including Mr. and Mrs. Rat) when both Heels and Dook were very good. The team with him and Jamison and Carter on it? - did they lose to Utah in the Final Four? Maybe the best Heels team to not win a title I can recall.
Heelicious I was just a wee lad when Carter and Jamison were doing their thing...whats the story on Shammond and the Rat?
KS1 - yep, that was the game. Sad. They were SO MUCH better than that Utah team, best team that year by far. Utah went on to get beat by Kentucky in the championship game I believe....
Easy Ed - nothing big... I just recall after a HUGE win against Dook in DES, maybe to seal the regular season ACC, Shammond jumped up on the scorers table, and was doing a primal scream sort of thing, happy, and was looking directly at Rat's wife. She came out later to say how disrespectful blah blah blah, it was...probably Mr. Rat did too... that was when Dean and the Heels owned Rat and the Dookies regularly, so I'm sure Rat turned all shades of red and purple after another whupping by his superior....
IIRC, Shammond went something like 2 of 11 in that game. That was the most disappointing UNC loss I've ever endured. I consider them the most exciting team to watch in NCAA history.
Shammond is a classy guy. Represent Shammond!
Yeah, I remember. I believe that was the game Gut's "starting six" plan backfired. Shammond was our main deep threat on that team and never seemed to play as well off the bench. Andre Miller wore us out as well.
Hard to imagine that team couldn't crack 60 points in a game.
Hey Gary, I sorta remember one play by Shammond vs dook (I think) where he was in the corner to the right of the hoop, faked a three, put the ball on the floor and went straight to the hole for a beautiful two-handed (IIRC) dunk. Do you, or anyone else recall that play? It drives me nuts because I cannot find video of it anywhere.
Yeah, sounds familiar. I might have it on VHS
